Rechargeable grooming devices are far less voltage-sensitive than heating appliances, because the voltage question sits in the adapter and most modern Philips adapters take 100-240 V -- check the adapter itself rather than inferring from the /49 part number, which is simply the North American SKU.
Full details →Who the Oral-B iO Series 9 Electric Toothbrush with 4 Brush Heads is for
Buy it if: Anyone with gum recession or who has been told they brush too hard.
